Climate Change is one of the most significant issues of our times and a key impeding factor affecting the pace of sustainable and equitable development of every country. Educating forthcoming generations about the causes and effects of global climate change is imperative as implementing solutions depends on their scientific, technical and leadership abilities. In this context, there is an urgent need to develop new education modules and pedagogical methods to inculcate environmental understanding in today’s students, in such a way that, every future citizen would be better equipped to identify appropriate solutions to mitigate climate change and reverse its impacts.
As part of the ARPIT 2020, the National Resource Centre on Climate Change at IISER Pune will present a number of educational resources including customized lesson plans to teach climate change topics at undergraduate level. As climate change is the most pressing problem humanity is facing, it is imperative that all teachers should have an understanding of the science of climate change and how their discipline-specific knowledge can increase awareness of the issue. This course will focus on providing teachers with training in the use of new pedagogical methods to introduce climate-change related content in their classrooms while teaching their discipline-specific topics. These pedagogical resources are developed such a way that a teacher representing any discipline would be able to gain new knowledge and can effectively integrate climate science with topics in their curriculum.
It will include video lectures, associated ppts, educational resources including lesson plans and digital pedagogical tools, and assessment material on both the science of climate change and on discipline specific climate change education.
